Exhibition The electricity highway behind the wall socket

About the exhibition…

Can you imagine your life without light, without heat, without music? Without electricity our life is not the same. What is it, how does it work and how does it reach our homes? All this and much more, we invite you to discover by carrying out experiments.

The exhibition consists of three areas where one can embark on a journey from the physical principles of electricity to the role of the public as protagonists in the electricity supply process. The first area consists of an experimental laboratory and the second area concentrates on the electricity supply process: it explains the challenges posed by the balance between generation and consumption. In the third area, the visitor, as a member of the public and a consumer, becomes the protagonist of the story. The exhibition consists of a didactic classroom, to carry out different workshops, an audio-visual projection room and various interactive materials.
